** Eagle of flowers ! I see thee stand 

 And on the sun's noon glory gaze ; 

 With eye like his, thy lids expand, 



And fringe their disc with golden rays ; 

 Though fix'd in earth, in darkness rooted there, 

 Light is thine element, thy dwelling air, 



Thy prospect heaven. 



**So would mine eagle soul descry 



Beyond the path where planets run, 

 The light of immortality, 



The splendour of creation's sun ; 

 Though sprung from earth, and hastening to the tomb, 

 In hope a flower of Paradise to bloom, 



I look to heaven." 



Montgomery. 



S. Bartholomew preached the Gospel in Armenia, 

 converted the Lycaonians, and afterwards visited 

 the extreme confines of India. He is supposed to 

 be the same as Nathaniel, since the Evangelists 

 who mention Bartholomew say nothing of Natha- 

 niel, and S. John, who mentions Nathaniel, takes 

 no notice of Bartholomew.
